Genshin Impact's Between Pledge and Forgettance Quest: A Complete Walkthrough

Natlan's latest expansion in Genshin Impact has brought forth one of the most engaging world quests to date: Between Pledge and Forgettance. This intricate adventure challenges players with unique mechanics that go beyond typical combat encounters, requiring strategic thinking and careful coordination between characters. But what makes this quest stand out among the many offerings in Natlan? The answer lies in its innovative dual-perspective gameplay and deep lore integration that expands the understanding of Natlan's ancient civilization.

🔓 How to Unlock Between Pledge and Forgettance

Many players encounter the Between Pledge and Forgettance quest marker early in their Natlan exploration, only to see it disappear after initial dialogue. The quest's full activation requires completing two prerequisite world quests first:

• Shadows of the Mountain

• Tale of Dreams Plucked From Fire

These quests are easily identifiable on Natlan's map by their distinctive blue world quest symbols that remain visible regardless of distance. After completing both prerequisites and waiting one full in-game day, the quest reappears in the Children of Echoes area. Here, players engage in dialogue with Pacal and Manqu before a straightforward duel against Pacal. Victory grants Pacal's blessings, preparing travelers to challenge the ancient ruins and obtain one of the two tokens required to access the fiery volcano.

Unlocking the First Ruin Seal

The quest's core challenge begins within the main ruins, where players must master the art of perspective switching between their main character and the adorable Tepetlisauri. After defeating initial enemies and positioning both characters between designated spots to unlock the ruin entrance, the real puzzle-solving commences.

Step-by-Step Guide to the First Puzzle:

1. Activate the initial lever after completing dialogue in the new area

2. Use the created path to reach the left side with Tepetlisauri

3. Attack the underground Pyro monument using Tepetlisauri's abilities

4. Switch to main character to activate the now-accessible Pyro monument

5. Take Tepetlisauri underground to climb up to the second lever

6. Activate lever with Tepetlisauri once, place main character on singular platform

7. Reactivate the lever to form new pathways

8. Follow the new path with Tepetlisauri to activate both required spots

This intricate sequence successfully solves the first major puzzle, leading to increasingly complex challenges that temporarily separate the traveler from their saurian companion.

🔄 Reuniting with Tepetlisauri

The lava-filled area presents the most challenging segment of the quest, requiring players to navigate separate paths for both characters before their eventual reunion. But how does one successfully coordinate these parallel journeys?

Tepetlisauri's Path:

• Follow the path to reach a greenery and water-filled area

• Descend underground to find breakable rocks and pulsating floors

• Head to the large orange pillar above breakable rocks

• Use Tepetlisauri's abilities repeatedly to reveal pulsating mechanisms

• Continue activating mechanisms until the pillar falls, clearing the path forward

• Reach the second pillar and use abilities on three bombs

• Unlock pedestals to drop the second pillar

• Proceed to the middle platform

Traveler's Path:

• Navigate through dangerous laser fields

• Avoid contact with rising liquid Phlogiston (causes rapid HP loss)

• Glide to the bottom when Phlogiston recedes

• Break the left wall to reveal a new path

• Return upstairs and glide over lasers

• Navigate disappearing platforms and additional lasers

• Use small character models to pass through laser barriers

• Activate end-room mechanism and return through opened door

• Simultaneously activate all Pyro monuments by touching the highest laser

• Use nearby lever to assist Tepetlisauri's progression

After both characters reach their spots in front of giant murals, a dialogue triggers, followed by following blue markers to finally reunite. The subsequent cutscene creates a path through the lava, advancing the quest.

⚔️ Defeating the Abyss-Corroded Golden Wolflord

The quest culminates in an epic boss battle against the Abyss-Corroded Golden Wolflord, which behaves significantly differently from its Inazuman counterpart. Understanding these differences is crucial for victory.

Battle Strategy:

Phase	Boss Behavior	Recommended Action
Initial	Flies out of melee range	Use bow characters for damage
Movement	Crosses battlefield	Avoid attacking during movement
Cooldown	Enters vulnerable state	Launch full attacks
Barrier	Gains void shield immunity	Apply consistent elemental damage

Key Battle Mechanics:

• Range Requirement: The Wolflord remains airborne initially, necessitating ranged attackers

• ⏳ Patience Pays: Wait for the boss's cooldown phase before committing to major attacks

• ️ Barrier Breaking: The void barrier requires sustained elemental application to dismantle

• 💥 Companion Assistance: Tepetlisauri charges up during battle to deliver massive damage

• ♻️ Safety Net: Fallen characters revive automatically during the encounter

After successfully removing the void barrier and defeating the Wolflord, players can enjoy the quest's conclusion through dramatic dialogue and breathtaking scenery that reveals deeper truths about Natlan's history.

Between Pledge and Forgettance stands as a testament to Genshin Impact's evolving quest design, blending challenging puzzles, strategic combat, and rich storytelling into an unforgettable Natlan adventure. The quest not only rewards players with valuable items and progression but also deepens their connection to the game's expanding world through its innovative mechanics and emotional narrative beats.
